President Viktor Yanukovych once again underlined that Ukraine can not join the Customs Union, since it is necessary to amend the Constitution.
The head of state said this during his meeting with the primates of Ukrainian churches.
"Under the Constitution, Ukraine has no right to enter organizations with supra-state regulators. That is, we have no right to delegate part of our sovereignty and sovereign rights under the Constitution," Viktor Yanukovych said.
The President said that if Ukraine would decide to become a member of the Customs Union, changes in the basic law should be made in a legitimate way, i.e. via parliament.
